177 miles for a steak..aka..a Ribber Run
There is a restaurant we like to ride to in Portsmouth Ohio. Full name The Scioto Ribber, we just call it "Ribbers" and about 4 times a year we make the pilgrimage there on our bikes for one of their 16 oz ribeye steak dinners. We call the "Ribber Runs". Beautiful slabs of meat (you can also get chicken or pork) cooked outside over hickory wood and seasoned to perfection. Comes with warm rolls, a potato (baked or sweet), and either beans (baked or green), applesauce or slaw (German or creamy). 177 miles round trip from my house but worth every minute in the saddle as the roads to and from roll thru some of the most beautiful area in southern Ohio, Shawnee State Forest. Forested ridges, sparkling streams and lakes, plenty of elevation changes, lots of curves and very little traffic. Today we did our first Ribber Run of the year. Myself, my younger brother and my son.

Here are some pics

about 60 degrees when we left home, about 80 when we returned. What a great day!

That steak looks worth the long ride Mickey. Bon Appetit!

1 Cor 13:4-7 (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Beautiful day for a ride, our skies in NY where just as blue, just a bit windy here. Nothing like a full belly and a good ride, who's has it better than you.

Steak and German slaw (Sauerkraut?)! I spent so much time salivating over your narrative I hardly have time to look at the pics before boarding the big white rat (Qantas) for DFW.

Cheers and well done. No, "Cheers and medium-rare".

Looks like a good time. You ought to let us know when you want to go sometime. Seems like a good place for a casual meet up.
